A Miami man was killed in a two-vehicle crash Sunday on State Road 60 near Lake Wales, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

Polk County sheriff's spokeswoman Carrie Eleazer said a 2012 Chevrolet Impala was trying to make a left turn from Mammoth Grove Road onto S.R. 60 about 11:15 a.m. and crossed into the path of a 2003 Dodge Dakota pickup pulling a trailer with an ATV on it, which was traveling west on S.R. 60.

The vehicles collided and rotated, according to reports. Deputies said the driver of the Impala died at the scene. His passenger, also from Miami, was taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center and was stable.

Sheriff's officials said Sunday night they were still trying to contact the next of kin of the man killed in the crash.

The driver of the Dakota, Karen Vozniak, 23, of St. Petersburg, her husband, James Vozniak, 27, and their two children were treated for minor injuries at Lake Wales Medical Center and released, according to deputies.
